Figure 1.20 Canine bone marrow showing megaloblastic change in several metarubricytes.Asynchronous maturation of the nucleus and cytoplasm results in nuclear immaturity in a cell that is becoming well-hemoglobinated and should have a small pyknotic nucleus. Macrocytosis and a high mean cell volume (MCV) are seen on peripheral blood. Wright-Giemsa stain.
